Day 9: Two Characters Who Have Never Met, But Should. (Classic Edition)

I’m cheating today. I’m sorry, but I couldn’t resist. The answer that instantly came to me was to put my two all-time favorite companions together. And I have because in my head I have this entire AU going where Clara Oswald (or one of her echoes) worked for UNIT in the 1970s. My reasons are long,…

Day 8: Favorite Quote (New Who Edition)

I’m surprised at how quickly I settled on a favorite quote. There’s one that stands out as being the most meaningful to me, though it doesn’t seem to be a super popular quote. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Peter Capaldi’s amazing speech from “The Zygon Inversion.” That would probably get my vote…

Day 8: Favorite Quote (Classic Edition)

There are some corners of the universe which have bred the most terrible things. Things which act against everything we believe in. They must be fought. -The Second Doctor (“The Moonbase”, 1967) If ever you needed one quote to sum up basically all of Doctor Who, this one does a pretty good job of it.* It…

Day 7: Favorite TARDIS Interior (New Who Edition)

This is an easy one for me. My favorite TARDIS interior is definitely the most recent one. I love the metallic color scheme and the little circles of blue lights. I love the geometric design. I especially love the turn-y things with Gallifreyan writing. And bookshelves! At the time, I really liked the 10th…

Day 7: Favorite TARDIS Interior (Classic Edition)

I’m excited today because this is an easy one. There’s absolutely no contest for me on this, and that is saying something. My favorite design for the TARDIS interior for ALL of Doctor Who is the original. It’s a thing of beauty. Clean lines and ultra-futuristic, it’s no wonder Ian and Barbara were so stunned when…

Day 6: Favorite Time Period (Classic Edition)

Before we get started, I have to ask. Have you read Erin’s post for today? If you haven’t, then you need to. Our resident physics professor is in and gives us a very cheerful view of her favorite New Who time period. My answer, however, is not as sciencey as Erin’s. I am not sciencey….

Day 6: Favorite Time Period (New Who Edition)

This is one item on the list that I came up with, and I meant it as “favorite time period that they have traveled to” instead of, say, a certain year of the show. Sorry for any ambiguity there. The Doctor certainly seems to spend a lot of time on Earth in whatever the current…

Day 5: Funniest Character (New Who Edition)

I had a hard time with this one. Every character that I came up with was one I wanted to use later in the challenge. I begrudgingly agree with Kat that it would be unfair to choose the Doctor himself, though I think that most of the time he’s the one with the funniest lines….

Day 5: Funniest Character (Classic Edition)

I’ve spent several days now mulling this one over and come to the conclusion that it’s an impossible choice. As it’s his show, choosing the Doctor (in any incarnation) seems a bit unfair. But when you look at the companions, they all had funny moments from time to time as well. Well, nearly all of…

Day 4: Favorite Alien Race (New Who Edition)

I’m really bummed that Hulu and Netflix have gotten rid of all their Doctor Who episodes. I never bought any DVDs or downloads because I (perhaps foolishly) thought I could always count on Hulu. It would make this challenge a lot easier if I could go back and watch old episodes to check on things….
